I have access to several instructors and coaches, but your program fills a niche that they don't. Your videos, your top-drawer models, and your insightful and nuanced discussions have a lasting impact. In this format, I can watch the segments over and over: then, they're in my head when I ski. I sensed from your early, introductory segments that this was going to be good. You've already exceeded my expectations.

I love the site. It has changed my classic ski completely and improved my one-skate far better than any lessons I have taken. So...thank you! Skiing is more enjoyable because of your work.

I've been using Nordic Ski Lab almost daily. My wife and I both love it! The information is clearly presented and easy to understand. Thanks so much for the work you and your friends at NSL have put into the lessons and website. It surpasses by far anything else I have been able to find online.

Nordic Ski Lab is awesome! I feel like I’m skiing better already. The Offset (V1) info and videos have solved many of my technique questions. It’s clear that you have a passion for the sport, helping others improve, and digging deeper into the thinking and even philosophy of nordic technique.

I’m grateful for everything - from the demos, lectures on healthy movement, drills, the blog... everything is thorough and of excellent quality. You have such a wonderful gift for breaking things down and explaining them! Thanks so very much!

As a CANSI Level 4 instructor with over 25 years of experience, I've found the Nordic Ski Lab to be an invaluable resource. The up-to-date content , exceptional demonstrations, and clear explanations in every video make it stand out. Kim's attention to detail enhances overall experience. It's become an indispensable tool in my teaching and personal skiing pursuits. Keep up the great work!

What Our Members Say

Beginners

Is my Nordic Ski Lab membership helping me get results? Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes! I came to the website as a novice and am already passing people on the trail.

Liz

Nordic Ski Lab is a treasure trove of extraordinarily useful material that has helped ignite my newfound passion for this wonderful sport! I now understand the mechanics underlying good skating technique and that has made all the difference.

Scott

Experienced Skiers

These guys make you see technical details that you don’t see by yourself watching World Cup videos. After watching their offset video, I quickly realized some flaws in my technique, applied them and immediately saw massive improvement in my weekly uphill intervals.

Felix

I just want to say that your website has meant a tremendous amount to me. I am a life long skier who always struggled with skating technique, despite skiing Division 1 in college. Now I understand the forces involved and consider myself a good skate skier. I don’t know of another site that communicates skiing as well as yours, including the Norwegian videos!

Erik

Coaches

I really like the overall approach to delivery of everything you have accomplished..incredible video, very clear, thoughtful and polite (kindness always come to mind!) and truly expert commentary, effective use of Coach’s Eye app, which I am trying to emulate.

Roger

Nordic Ski Lab has taken my ability to help the skiers on my team to another level. The courses on technique are very thorough and the skiers are excellent. The forum discussions are interesting and informative as skiers and coaches discuss all topics relating to Nordic skiing. A fantastic resource for anyone interested in Nordic skiing.
